I have this car about 6 years now and this is where it started



Image
Image
Image

This car was stock with a D15B3 twincarb engine, only thing that was fitted was the 14" Racing Sparco NS-II rims.

Currently looks something like this still....i think

Image
Image
Image

Power run :
Image

Change of color

Image
Image
Image
Image

Some Cellphone pics, not the best quality :oops:

Image
Image
Image
Image

Did some updates, fitted some Koni Yellows and Ground Control Coilover kit and some new wheels
and some other odd and ends

Image
Image
Image


Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Added VTEC



Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Pic of the car standing at home for now, need to sort out some wiring and fit some electronics

Image
Image

Image

I felt silly for spending so much money on 2 bolts but the quality of this is really good

Image
Image
Image

Added a Turbo

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Also got a set of Mugen RNR

Image
Image
car made 206kw and 292nm at 0.5 bar boost on the wheels.
Works out to 276hp and 215lbs/ft on the wheels

Image

This was such a mission to fit but well worth it

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Small update, upped boost to 0.6 bar
Being very carefull, don't trust these B20 sleeves for sh!te :lol:
Once again power at the front wheels

Image

Image
Image
Image

The Rest -> http://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?s ... 787&type=3

My new Brakes

here are some old pics of the Max My Ride shoot Divan Shepherd did

Swapped engines again

Small Update, B series Parts have been removed and installed into my CRX
Managed to find something to put into the Civic

I finally got the car tuned a bit last night, still some odds and ends to finish and then it will go back on the dyno for a final tune.

K20Z4 motor
3" induction pipe with old Simota filter
Ac and ps delete
3" exhaust with just a rear box
Ktuned Race Header
S90 70mm Cable Throttle Body
Adaptronic e420d Basic Select ECU
201whp and 153wtq


Image

So i've had the car back at home for about 2 weeks now and got around to giving it a good wash and polish

Image

Image

Image

Went to a Subaru Dyno Day and this is what the car made on a very hot Saturday afternoon

Image

And this is the dynorun -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVLgZ0UVqC8

Only thing bugging me now is the idling as it's irratic sometimes and even switches the car off when it's cold so need to fit a IACV.
Throttle is also crap because when you cruising at part throttle the accelerator is like a on/off switch but a friend advised how i can sort that out.
Need to get the speedo working also and finally clean up the interior and make a plan with the centre console but i have an idea in mind.

Last tune was 152kw and 217nm at the wheels before I picked her up from Theo

All the smaller pics open bigger when you click on them

And that's it so far

Bought some new stuff for the car, 17" rims are for sale as I fitted Volk 15x7 Volk reps with 205/50/15 Federal Semi's infront and 195/50/15 Falken ZIEX 912 at the back.

Image

K20a2 oil pump, doesn't have balancer shafts so it adds +-5kw and makes the engine rev so much better and safely to 9000-9500rpm

Image

13x8 Drag wheels should be arriving this week or next

Image

Since K series TPS sensors are very rare in SA I nought this kit which allows me to use a B series TPS on a K series Throttle Body

Image
